We had a corner room that was spacious and quiet. The location is close to everything, and the breakfast was phenomenal!

Stefan, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The hotel itself looks good, with clean modern styling. The room was very nicely appointed, and the kitchenette area was very impressive with more features than expected. The first problem was that the air conditioning wasn’t working welland hardly any air was blowing. The air was damp and stale. The A/C filter was extremely dirty and hadn’t been changed for a long time. We unscrewed the cover over the air conditioner and removed the air filter which helped immensely. The AC worked well after that, although it was very loud. The real issue became in the early morning hours when delivery trucks arrived at nearby areas. The beeping from their backup warnings was extremely loud through the windows, so much that it woke me up. Then, as soon as people started waking up and going through the hallway, the noise was unbearable. The door slamming of adjacent rooms was extremely loud, and just normal talking in the hallway was easily overheard in the room. The windows and hallway doors definitely need much more soundproofing. Breakfast was better than most similar hotels, and they even have a chef that prepares simple eggs and avocado toast. Unfortunately, the noise through the windows and doors was too much to make me want to stay at this hotel again.

For a less busy weekend, to get a corner room facing the back side seemed unfair. The coffee machine in the room didn’t work and wasn’t replaced even after notifying the front desk. Other than that everything was average

Knowing we'll be staying for a while, Ms Paige Klein had reached out to us to ask what they could do to make our stay comfortable. They accommodated our request. Housekeeping - I noticed that when housekeeping made our beds, the pillows and sheets that were going to be re-used were never put on the floor before it's returned to the bed. I've seen other hotel housekeeping do that (put sheets on the floor). Element's housekeeping is very hygienic. Kudos to them. Breakfast and front desk staff are very friendly. They even followed up on some issues we reported. Maintenance response to issues reported was very prompt.

2/10 Terrible

The hotel was pretty and in a nice location, but the front desk was unmanned plenty of times to where anyone off the street could take the merchandise for sale. Also our room was unoccupied while me and my family went for a walk and when we got back to the room my wallet was gone through and took $60 to $80. I called the manager who said she would check the records but never called me back. The guy at the front desk was asleep when I walked up to purchase some goodies. He was also on my floor walking around leaving the front desk unattended and the manager said he shouldn’t be. Do not trust some of the staff there.
